Dundee United vs Celtic

Parkhead witnesses navigating within the most troubling introduction to Wilfried Nancy's stewardship, with the Parkhead colossus having endured the humiliation of capitulation across every one of their initial three fixtures under their recently-appointed tactician. The crushing 3-1 reverse to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final represented rock bottom that few aligned with such a club could have foreseen.

Nancy has become the only manager in the club's decorated history to lose his opening three fixtures in command, and there exists an urgent need to arrest this concerning decline.

Still, confidence may be gleaned from Dundee United's persistent struggles. The Tannadice club have been unable to secure victory in any of their most recent seven outings, and for all Celtic's current challenges, the Bhoys still boast greater quality. We are backing the Parkhead institution to claim a much-needed three points.

Glasgow Glory, 1.48 – 3SZFYFR

City's EFL Ambitions

Manchester City approach this Carabao Cup quarter-final as prohibitive choices to claim victory and march into the next stage of the tournament. The hosts evidently possess superior collection of talent than their opponents.

Whilst Brentford have performed exceeding predictions under recently-appointed manager Keith Andrews this season, the West Londoners have now proved incapable to win any of their last three games. Furthermore, they have also been unable to secure victory from any of their previous five fixtures with the Sky Blues – featuring four defeats.

Given this context, we are endorsing Manchester City to secure victory and advance for the semi-finals.

City's progression, 1.19 – 3SZG9LC

Wilson's Stage at St James' Park

Harry Wilson is experiencing a magnificent spell of form for Fulham, with the Wales international registering four goals in his previous seven outings for the West London outfit. Wilson furthermore secured a treble for his Wales during the November qualifying break.

When considered against current vulnerability, shipping at least a single strike in all of their most recent eight fixtures across all tournaments, we are backing Wilson to find on the mark sheet yet again here.

Wilson finds the net, 4.75 – 3SZGJRB

Talavera de La Reina vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid head into this meeting with third-tier Talavera de La Reina in the Copa del Rey round of 32 comprehensively projected to control the encounter and claim success by an emphatic distance.

Los Blancos are likely to refresh their starting XI for this meeting, but their reserve squad undoubtedly remains more than capable of claiming a major win. We are endorsing their class to triumph in this contest, with a convincing win and at minimum 3.5 goals scored.

Los Blancos dominant, 1.96 – 3SZGVNM
